Can anyone help with installing a Brother MFC6800 printer in Puppy? It's the only one that isn't native to the puppy drivers list. The procedures I managed to find in the forum only return errors when I try them in the console. I'm just a software consumer type and really can't do anything outside of a GUI. I'm not competent in the console environment.

Maybe there's a more current, highly detailed procedure that I have missed?

Note I downloaded the packages from the Brother website and tried just running them like any other Pet. Of course it didn't work. Have I jammed up my OS now?

Thanks very much.

You just blew my mind. I had given up and posted that request as a final desperate/hopeless act. Did you just whip that up or was it somewhere out there and I missed it? I've been all over the Brother Linux support section and considered it a complete strike-out.

Follow-up for all concerned. Don't believe it has anything to do with the driver, as the test page runs fine, as does a word processor (gnome) document, but the whole thing blew up when I tried to print out of my browser (Opera 11). Looks like the frames caused some confusion. Actually choked the driver, but I resolved it by deleting and reinstalling the printer. (error message was the the printer was busy rejecting jobs, but it never let go). This is no biggie to me - assume it's most likely something in Opera that needs tweaking. Guess I should try Firefox and see if I get the same behavior, but I do so prefer Opera.
